Softcover. Condizione: Fine. Leichte Risse. Everything is over for Simon Axler, the protagonist of Philip Roth's startling new book. One of the leading American stage actors of his generation, now in his 60s, he has lost his magic, his talent, and his assurance. His Falstaff and Peer Gynt and Vanya, all his great roles, "are melted into air, into thin air". When he goes on stage he feels like a lunatic and looks like an idiot. His confidence in his powers has drained away; he imagines people laughing at him; he can no longer pretend to be someone else. "Something fundamental has vanished." His wife has gone, his audience has left him, his agent can't persuade him to make a comeback. Into this shattering account of inexplicable and terrifying self-evacuation bursts a counterplot of unusual erotic desire, a consolation for the bereft life so risky and aberrant that it points not toward comfort and gratification but to a yet darker and more shocking end. In this long day's journey into night, told with Roth's inimitable urgency, bravura, and gravity, all the ways that we persuade ourselves of our solidity, all our life's performances - talent, love, sex, hope, energy, reputation - are stripped off. Following the dark meditations on mortality and endings in Everyman and Exit Ghost, and the bitterly ironic retrospective on youth and chance in Indignation, Roth has written another in his haunting group of late novels.

David Kepesh is white-haired and over sixty, an eminent TV culture critic and star lecturer at a NewYork college, when he meets Consuela Castillo, a decorous, well-mannered student of twenty-four, who promptly puts his life into erotic disorder. Since the sexual revolution of the Sixties, when he left his wife and child, Kepesh has been living a life of 'emancipated manhood', without ties or responsibilities. But the youth and beauty of Consuela, 'a masterpiece of volupte', undo him completely, and his worldliness, his confidence and reason desert him as he slides into the depths of a maddening sexual jealousy. The carefree erotic adventure with which he began evolves, over eight years, into a tragic story of love and loss.

He is Mickey Sabbath, the aging, raging powerhouse whose savage effrontery and mocking audacity are at the heart of Philip Roth's astonishing new novel. Sabbath's Theater tells Mickey's story in the wake of the death of his mistress, an erotic free spirit whose adulterous daring exceeds even his own. Once a scandalously inventive puppeteer, Mickey is now in his mid-sixties and besieged by ghosts - of his mother, his beloved brother, his vanished first wife, his mistress of thirteen years. Bereft and grieving, he embarks on a turbulent journey back into his past, one that brings him to the brink of madness and extinction. But no matter how ardently he courts death, he is too exuberantly alive to succeed at dying. Sabbath's Theater is a comic creation of epic proportions, and Mickey Sabbath is its gargantuan hero. This book, which presents Philip Roth at the peak of his powers, is sur.

Couverture souple. Condizione: Très bon. Résumé : Le lecteur retrouvera ici David Kepesh, le héros de Professeur de désir. Âgé maintenant de 62 ans, c'est un homme arrivé, qui enseigne à l'université et a créé son émission de télévision. Parmi ses étudiants, il distingue une certaine Consuelo, d'origine cubaine, jeune femme fascinante au corps merveilleux, mais qui se révèle incapable de s'abandonner à la sexualité. Progressivement, le fait qu'elle ne le désire pas va rendre David fou de jalousie Sur cette trame classique du déséquilibre progressif d'une relation où le désir se révèle définitivement non partagé, Philip Roth évoque non seulement les problèmes de la sexualité et de la jalousie, mais aussi le sujet beaucoup plus poignant des sentiments du jaloux vieillissant. Ce constat cruel et lucide (le narrateur est censé écrire ses souvenirs huit ans après les événements) est aussi l'occasion pour l'auteur de pourfendre l'ordre moral et le puritanisme de l'Amérique actuelle. Un roman sans concession où Philip Roth se montre au plus intense de son talent. LIVRE (S) ENVELOPPÉ (S) DANS DU PLASTIQUE A BULLES, ENVOI RAPIDE ET SOIGNÉ.
